I’m assuming it’s two things?
1) October EV share is only down 1.5pp YoY; so even without the tax credit and pull ahead, there’s decent EV demand
2) ford said they’re maybe canceling the F150 Lightning
But those are older news by now

Aren’t Guadalajara in Mexico, Riyadh, Bogota, Madrid, Addis Ababa and Santiago all bigger and built on non-navigable rivers?

Is this actually real? I don’t see this anywhere on the WH news so this feels like it’s just a joke

My favorite part in there goes something like “it was very peculiar that both the north and south had the same strategy of restricting cotton exports” to say how dumb “king cotton” was as a southern strategy

There’s an alternate universe where Trump stayed in reality TV instead of politics and became an *amazing* Greg Davies substitute in the American adaptation

It's pretty hard to have a pro-affordability/abundance platform as NYC mayor without being de facto pro-climate.
Improving transit, increasing housing, and reducing energy costs are all pro-climate moves in 2025.

I don't think they're necessarily at odds.
Declining pop growth from stricter immigration policy = slower growth outlook. If you think growth outlook is weaker, you're not going to hire as much.
If there's fewer immigrants, that means fewer trips to the store, which means fewer jobs at the store.

Not scientific, but 19th century Europe seemed to have fewer major fires across cities: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categor...
By contrast, the 19th century in the US had major fires in Philly (1850), Chicago (1871), Boston (1872), NY (3x since the late 1700s). The US seemingly had a worse problem.

If you read “How the Other Half Lives” it’s probably the wokest sociology book of the 1890s and still a decent chunk of it basically reads like “even these slovenly Italians and Pollacks and be brought to civilization if we improve sanitation”

Between 1918 and 1933? Ethiopia still exists, but post-WWI border changes have occurred.
USSR is recognized so probably post-civil war (1922), but beyond that it’s trying to identify border changes in Eastern Europe.

Rare earths are probably the most fascinating part of this admin. It's the only actual industrial policy of the admin, with government taking historically unusual stakes in companies.
Now the question is just "is the US propping up crappy, corrupt miners" or "admin actually stimulates REE market"

I think TLOU1 did this really well at the end: we know what the right answer is, but Joel is willing to end the world to save Abby.
So there comes a point where the only way the story can progress is if Joel steps forward and kills that doctor, making us, the player, complicit in his decision

A Class III e-bike is great if it's replacing a loud, inefficient, and equally dangerous moped or motorcycle, but then it should be treated as a moped/motorcycle.

Have you read “how China works” by Xiaohuan Lan?
It’s not *super* in-depth but provides a great intro to how Chinese government works with state-led development.

Sure, maybe Iraq could have gone better with more regular infantry, but that runs against the political constraints of deploying 500k infantrymen in the country.
Hegseth is explicitly pursuing a non-mass mobilization army: he wants an army with fewer minorities and women.

And the DHS/ICE are doing a pretty aggressive recruiting push for crappy local cops at the moment.
Could be a 2 birds/1 stone situation: clean out the PDs and prosecute ICE simultaneously.

I think I really underestimated Trump's ability to whip votes, and I thought there would be a serious fight on things like cutting IRA and Medicaid.
I think in the aggregate "things are bad" obscures the nuance: ICE and DOGE are worse than I expected, but the FBI, EPA and DOT have all been weaker

I think what really surprised me was the unevenness.
The EPA is holding surprisingly strong and most rules are still in place and enforced, while the CDC is getting gutted. DOT couldn’t kill congestion charges but ICE managed to create a gestapo.
